The backtrace we have already.  It's the "unreadable" stuff that ERT
prints.  It's hard to make sense of because of the macrology involved.
If you macroexpand the ert-deftest form that Mike provided, you'll see
what I mean.

And that's also what one will see in a debugger.  (There's an
ert-debug-on-error, BTW.  I think someone asked.)

Don't know, maybe you could change ert-deftest to expand into something
more readable?
